Key Lime Pie Recipe

I second Ina Garten's recipe. I made it once in mini, ready- made pie shells so everyone had their own, and it cuts the freezing time by half. So easy and SO DELICIOUS!! And no baking required. :)

What do I serve with Quiche?

You can do different types of salad, like a cole slaw, beet salad, chilled asparagus and green bean salad with red onion and white wine viniagrette, sliced tomatoes with parsley and dressing, or maybe even a soup...

Isn't it hard to find a well-executed sandwich? So when can find a place with more than a couple, it's a keeper! So many places just mindlessly pile on ingredients with no thought to taste or texture; this place looks like it got it right. That said, I think crab cake sandwiches rarely succeed...too much breading, or mush, or both.

Classic Wine and Cheese Combos?

A good Brunello and a Campo de Montalban. Perfection!

Snapshots from Chile: Hot Dogs and Sandwiches at Rapa Nui

I'm torn. That is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much mayo for me (I like a paper-thin layer on each slice of bread), but the other stuff looks delicious. Have you ever had a potato salad sandwich? They are very popular in Japan, especially at 7-11s. Now that's one mayo-y sandwich I can get behind...

Key Lime Pie Recipe

Cook's Illustrated has a good recipe. I make it a couple times a year for some family functions. The key is fresh lime juice (forget the bottle) and use the zest! As much As I like Ina Garten's recipes, and have had great success with them, I would not add sugar to a Key Lime Pie, unless you like it really sweet. My fam prefers it on the tart side.

I found a honey and almond chevre at Whole Foods and totally had to bring it. It was a total hit!

Key Lime Pie Recipe

I made mini key lime pies on Tuesday. I got the recipe from Cook's Illustrated and it was wonderful! Egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, lime zest and juice. Bake for a few minutes.

Has anyone ever made it using a bit of Rose's Lime?

@Prairie: I went on Thursday night and had the same prob: no breaded cutlets, only grilled! Also, they ran out of 7-grain bread and brioche. I got a chicken po boy sandwich though and it was SOOO GOOOD, oh yeah.

You're right about the waste though. Maybe they don't have the capacity to wash lots of dishes? But they they have a lot of waste to deal with. I've never asked them about that before..

@roboppy: Just went for the first time, it's right around the corner from my GF's apartment. Great stuff.

They were out of the breaded chicken cutlets, but were substituting them for grilled breasts. Yummy.

One thing we did notice is the...odd (?)...amount of waste per meal. Plastic cup, paper in tray, paper on sandwich, thin paper napkins. Other than that thanks for the reccomendation!

Thanks so much for the garlic bread suggestion. I adore garlic bread, and it would go so well with the quiche. The tray idea is also a good one.

Looks like you have some good ideas as far as salads go-so I don't think you need anything more there.

Maybe an assortment of breads with butter or bread sticks. Perhaps Garlic Bread..

Trays usually go over well: veggie, cheese, fruit, or a variety of meats and cheeses with balsamic dressing drizzled atop. Mmmm, I want some of that now.

What do I serve with Quiche?

First, I want to thank everyone for posting such great ideas. What a terrific response! The quiche I make is a healthy crust less ham and zucchini one. I serve it for dinner. I like the idea of serving it with something tangy and crisp. "The fresh tomatoes, cukes, and Greek olives, scallions or red onions in a sharp Italian dressing" sounds perfect. I also like the soup idea. I hadn't thought of that. If I was to make it for brunch on a weekend, I'd probably serve it with melon chunks. But, I usually have it for dinner.

One vote for gazpacho. With home-made croutons. This could work with a hot or cold lunch quiche.
